Ralph,I appreciate your efforts in doing a look-up in the IRHS database.I do not believe that our Michael Nealon is in the current database and do not believe he will be added in the future since he was a Roman Catholic and was born before the church registerations are available for the Hospital/Herbertstown parish, which did not begin until 1810.Through correspondence with a number of people who live in the area I now believe that he came from a family that lived in Ballinscoola, a ways outside of Herbertstown and is likely related to the Michael Nealon who was baptised in 1817 to parents: John & Mary Meagher.The registeration you came across for 1780 was not likely a Roman Catholic or was from another parish which had records that went back that far.The family that Michael came from is quite likely related to at least some of the other Nealon families in the area.After having done a lot of Irish research I have now come to the conclusion that we are not likely to come across any records that documentMichael in Ireland before he left in 1818.Thanks for your assistance.
